you still own it? It's one of the planes I really want to own! I would probably eventually get the interior, exterior, and avionics upgraded haha. How is/was it to own?
❤ what an amazing airplane. 😃 two questions, how noisy is the airplane inside. And why piper do not made a separation cockpit and the passenger side? I would like have some separation, spacial for night flights.
How reliable is all of that fancy avionics. Worried that it will need many repairs and circuit board replacements. I am flying a plan with steam gauges.
Niko's Wings Thanks Niko! Big fan of your videos brother! I agree 100% with the pressurization on the Cirrus. That would be the icing on the cake. We’re picking up ours the last week of December!👍🏽. Can’t wait! Cheers!
If you own a Cirrus, there's always a Malibu/Mirage in your price range. I love the older malibus. 4 blade, Continental 550 dual turbo, running 15.5gph. Throw a JPI930, and G500TXI on it. 750s. Youll gain pressurization and radar over a Cirrus. Comfort and knowledge. Cirrus is a fun plane though!
Great info, love the review. New here though. When you reference the 73... around 21:30... is that the 737? BTW, subscribed. EDIT: LOVE THE VIEWS, Red rock country.
Rodel Canizares Hi Rodel! If you mean a dirt strip I’m not completely sure. I did see the turboprop variant did get approval in 2011. Let me get back to you on that one. Good question!
FlyingwithBigErn I loved how with GA you had more info on the flying and the in flight experience while you’re showing the glass cockpit and everything that’s going on along with radio traffic. That would be great during your SW flights but I get it. I wonder how Swayne Martin got his company to allow that.
Glad to find another Arizonan aviator on TH-cam! No one can't get enough of red and green view of Sedona! I've gotten all my certificates(up to CFI) at DVT. Cutter guys at Deervalley are always maintaining our fleet at best condition and really friendly. Always happy to work with them. Insanely busy airport that makes you a good pilot once you survive😂. Now I'm staying home but hopefully get back to work soon. Your video made me really nostalgic! Thank you so much sir!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I enjoy flying into DVT but you’re right, it’s very busy. Gas is cheap there too. Hopefully I’ll see you around the valley sometime! Cheers!
Depends on the board for sure. I can see a shorty in there and even skis. Mountain bike? Maybe, I'm sure someone can make that happen. That would be a great trip to take some bikes to Catalina in that bird!👍 Cheers!
Great airplane...on my vision board! Question, when you do a rapid descent like you demonstrated with the speed brakes, is there any concern for shock cooling the engine?
Hi Michael! It would always be a concern for me. Not sure the right answer according to Piper. I would guess that it would be for a rapid depressurization to chop and drop. Otherwise the speed brake could help in getting down with the power up as to not shock cool the engine. Gotta baby those things right👍🏽. Cheers!
I'm 5'9" and had plenty of room. The pax in the back will have a very comfortable ride too. Just a treat of an airplane to fly. I love the Cirrus but this is wonderful XC plane as well. Cheers!
Great video. I am a low hr guy who has started and stoped his private a few times. Now I can afford to finish. I am have problems finding a school. I am in Norman ok south of okc. I am told that the OU Sooner flight academy is for degree students only. Any suggestions with out along drive into OKC. FLY SAFE EVERYONE. BIG ERN CONGRATS ON GOING TO THE LEFT SEAT
Just out of curiosity why did you choose to get a new SR22 turbo versus a gently used m350? I would just like to know the pros and cons in your mind between the two. Also great videos thanks for letting us come along your adventures.
Awesome! This is the airplane we want, I fly the 757/767 and my wife is a private pilot, and we hope to spark some interest in our daughters to fly, either for fun, or professionally. Can't wait to fly the M350!
Hi Trenton! Yeah it’s such a great family plane. Having pressurization is a game changer as well. Best of luck with your daughter. I can tell you it’s one of the best bonding memories I have with my daughter. Cheers!
I'm going to Sedona when I come to AZ in May!! Any advice on sites to see there? We have some ideas, but the more the merrier! I've NEVER been to Arizona!
The 737 from your intro has different fuel cutoff levers than the traditional white levers that go up and down. Which 737 variant is that? Is that specific to your Airline?
Standard length drivers can go right in the front compartment along with the rest of the set. And that's 4 sets in just the front baggage area. That leaves the entire rear baggage area for other luggage, plus all the cabin-space for 4 passengers and a fold-out table on one side. You'll need to stick to ultra-light bags and graphite clubs, though, since the front baggage area is only rated for 100lbs.
I’m just curious, what instrument indicates his “True Airspeed.” I thought what you’re seeing is “indicated airspeed,” and then you would have to correct for “calibrated airspeed”
Hi Jimmy! Most of the advanced avionics now have a True Airspeed reading on it. I do miss the old school ways on the round dial though at times. Made me feel like a real pilot😁. Cheers!
Hi Exciting video. Did you buy any plane? What about, gas, Mooring charges, mechanics? I like that you asked about, why previous owner transitioned. Ok neat video. Shaun of NYC
Hey Kenny! Yeah it was my first time filming in a GA plane. Thanks for the feedback, I promise the one's coming up in my Cirrus will be much better😄. I hope😆
Honest question. Why would an owner-pilot choose this aircraft over a used turboprop at this price point? This aircraft is loaded with interesting electronics and safety features but $900k to $1M buys a lot of different turboprops with the added reliability and performance.
Hey Bryon! I’d agree but with age comes more maintenance costs. I guess it’s a personal preference. I’d love to get into a used Meridian at that price point but the maintenance costs kinda scare me😁. Cheers!
couple of other things t0 consider as well Byron, one of these privately for scheduled maintenance, plus fuel insurance your looking at about $350 USD/ an hour. jump into say an M500 that figure jumps to around $1100USD/Hour, plus at overhaul a pt6 will sting you $700.000 USD as opposed to a 540 at around $110.000 USD
Ugh, if only the Columbia 400 had inherited Lancair's pressurization. The cabin air system on the Columbia 400/Cessna TTx looks almost identical to a pressurized plane. It takes bleed air off the turbos through sonic nozzles. The Columbia 400 really feels like at some point the designers envisioned it being pressurized, but it never happened. Clearly the big TSIO-550 is up to the task of pressurizing a cabin. Hopefully the new Lancair Mako gets a pressurization option at some point, or some derivative includes pressurization.
Thx for the vid ! I see you guys ended up buying Cirrus SR22T from previous vid . I’m in the market for a new aircraft debating between M350 vs SR22T? I currently fly Bonanza A36 with 500hrs on it already ! I’d appreciate a feedback and an advice from a seasoned pilot like yourself!! Thx again 🙏🏻
Congrats on the A36! That’s a great airplane. I will say that I love the Cirrus. Although, if you plan on going above 180 often get the M350. The pressurization is a game changer. Wish I had it on my last trip to Grand Forks. Just my opinion. Cheers!
You need to turn down the ATC traffic when you are trying to do a interview. I know you need to hear it but everyone else does not need to hear it at that level.
The pressurized cabin is a huge plus. I live in Florida and whenever I visit Colorado I get a little dizzy and flushed whenever I land at the Denver airport which is at around 5,200 feet and when I head up into the mountains around 8,000 to 10,000 feet I get moderate altitude sickness for at least few days and even after a week, I don’t feel 100% normal. Being able to fly at 16,000 to 22,000 feet and having a pressure altitude in the cabin of less than 8,000 ft without having to have oxygen is a huge deal for me. I would like to have a back up oxygen system in this plane, just in case. Even if I fly at 25,000 feet, having an 8,000 ft cabin pressure is still a little high for me living at sea level. I’d like to have the option of supplementing with a little oxygen.
how could you eliminate the radio chatter? annoyingly loud. do you realize that wearing masks while piloting a commercial airliner invalidates your health certificate according to federal rules? really, wearing masks with just the two of you?
I have to wonder about any 737 pilot who after they closed the door behind them where's a mask covid 19. What's next afraid of breaking a mirror or walking under a ladder ?
Truly nice airplane! But do I want to see your pandemic faces all the time in the video.? No I do not! No panel shown in flight. To catch some performance. 😐 sorry but no good to me.
Yup! It's just how I carry myself brother. I genuinely try to put others first. If you feel comfortable with me in a mask, then I'm wearing a mask regardless of my personal feelings in the matter. Cheers!
Love this aircraft. Price is the same of a Cirrus/DA50/DA62...but pressurized, with longer range and more useful load.
Total winner.

Nice to see that even a 737 pilot gets reminders about more right rudder. 😂
The use of rudder on a 737 is highly discouraged. That thing has a huge rudder.
@@drock5407 and it has yaw damper
And it doesn’t have left turning tendencies, duh
Watching this video made me excited for the future. I got my PPL on Monday and hoping to fly something as a career. The m350 is brilliant.
Congrats on your PPL! Cheers!
I love all your videos. I'm a proud owner of a Piper Mirage. It's a super airplane!
It's such a great airplane Bobby! With the pressurization, it is a true personal airliner! Cheers!
you still own it? It's one of the planes I really want to own! I would probably eventually get the interior, exterior, and avionics upgraded haha. How is/was it to own?
perfect plane for a business owner! It's like a little airliner
This aircraft is sick. Would love to have this bird. Whew!.
I am a big fan of yours.your a great pilot a nice man love aviation thanks for all of what you do
This video makes me so excited to continue my flight training.
Hi Russ! I'm glad! Flying is so rewarding in many ways. Keep moving forward and best of luck! Cheers!👍
❤ what an amazing airplane. 😃 two questions, how noisy is the airplane inside. And why piper do not made a separation cockpit and the passenger side? I would like have some separation, spacial for night flights.
Piper has nailed it on oxygen depletion. As a compression motor, it does the trick. Go Piper.
I really do love that plane! Such a great design. Cheers!
I’ve watched this video a few times. Excellent. What a great plane!
How reliable is all of that fancy avionics. Worried that it will need many repairs and circuit board replacements. I am flying a plan with steam gauges.
I’m still amaze at the advances in GA A/C since I last flew in 98. 😊😊
I am new to planes but the pressurised cabin and space puts the piper m350 ahead of the rivals for me.
That is one beautiful looking bird, looks like a good small charter plane
Great video, that pressurization sounds wonderful. I need that for my Cirrus, but unfortunately they don’t make one.

Piper Seneca V Vs Piper M350 which is more reliable in comparison (keeping dual engine and single engine out of comparison)
Enjoyed that! The only thing missing is an onboard WC :)
It has a relief tube (i.e. in-flight urinal).

Hi Matt! Good observation! This is a newer B737-800.
@@FlyingwithBigErn Also are you guys able to just switch between flying the 700 and the 800 without being any training?
We do have training on the differences between the two for sure. After training it is not uncommon to fly both variants on the same day. Cheers!
Thanks for it
how many hours did the original pilot have to much chatter to catch the hours
Hey Lefty, sorry it took a bit to get back but I wanted to check again. It was around 350hrs. Cheers!
What is the price tag on this sweet thing??
I believe it was $1.1M. It was fun to fly. Cheers!
Finally got the answer to my Malibu question. 4 sets of clubs, drivers stow in the cabin.
Standard length drivers can go right in the front compartment along with the rest of the set. And that's 4 sets in just the front baggage area.
